How Do I Stop Pop-Ups In Words With Friends

I play Words With Friends on my tablet and every single time I make a move an ad pops up. I have to watch at least a few seconds of it before I can get back to the game. How can I get rid of these pop-ups?

There’s one solution, Shawn. You can pay for the full version of Words With Friends. It will cost you $4.99, but you will be spared those commercials. Otherwise, those ads are just the price you pay for your “free” app.

Way to tell it like it is Cynthia. How can some people pay $80-90 a month for a phone and think $5 for an app they use everyday is too much. I guess too many of us have gotten used to the “Free” apps situation. Though it sounds like this game’s ads are more intrusive than most which simply display at the bottom all the time instead of popping up.

I had the same frustration and for sometime, didn’t know how to even buy the “pay” version (I use a Kindle Fire) because it was not listed in the app store; however, I finally found that option in the menu within the game. It is well worth paying for it – not only did the ads stop coming, the game itself runs much smoother.

My mother in law wants a words with friends version without pop up ads. We can’t delete her current version on her iPad and buy the $4.99 version. Then box always comes up saying open, without the $4.99 option ever appearing.
???????

Actually, Deborah – many other “free” games do require you to pay to upgrade to ad-free version. When you think about it, to maintain a game, you need to make money on it. The money can come from people paying for the game or from advertisers. But it has to come from somewhere or there would be no way to support the games. Just like television, you can watch ads or pay extra for premium ad-free services.

I don’t begrudge an ad every now and again but on Facebook an ad after every play is ridiculous. So what I do is play my word, highlight the url and as the ad appears I press enter and the game continues with the ad gone. Still annoying but not as much as those ads are.

I get how to stop the ads between turns. How about the ads running on the bottom of the screen non stop as I’m playing? It bogs my computer down something awful. I’m sure there’s a setting somewhere and I haven’t located it yet. Anyone have any ideas?

You need to be in Setting in the game, not in Android. Go to the very bottom of your home page and tap settings. At the top of settings, you’ll see a header that says Ads. Then Remove Ads with a buy now button.

I want to buy words with friends for my HP Stream 8 but as it isn’t android, even google play won’t let me download the app. I am more than happy to pay for the game to get rid of the ads that are between moves and also the side ads in facebook that are encroaching onto the player board. Ant
Any help?

I play Words With Friends on Face Book on my Mac Desktop and would love to Remove Web ads and I am willing to pay. I have searched everywhere and tried to follow instrctions but it is as if there is no option…..Can someone help me ??

I bought the ad free version a long time ago and it worked fine. However, I have recently been getting annoying pop up ads at the bottom of the screen after every move. I can’t stop them. To my mind they are ads and I paid to stop them so why are they appearing.

After every move I get a blank white square with Zynga in a red box on the upper left corner with another little white box under that big white box that asks me each time to “Enjoy the very best words with friends experience on Facebook with no third party ads between moves and to buy for $9.99.”

Then after each last move it tells me that I’m out of moves. I know I’m out of moves, I don’t want to buy anything, and I don’t want to see the blank white square that I have to refresh each time I make a move.

When you purchase the paid version, you’re purchasing the app. If your PC and tablet have the same operating system (Windows 8 for example), you can use that app for both devices. If not, you’ll likely have to purchase the app that goes with that OS. Now is you purchase the Android app, it should work with any Android device – The app purchased for your iOS device will work on any Apple device etc…
